Thanks Dave. I've been quite happy with it. It solves the synch speed problem. Once or twice when using the Sigma, it refused to do high speed synch. I had to turn it off, remove it, and reattach it. Then all was fine. That might be a camera hiccup. Hard to say. I've also noticed that it will start acting weird when the batteries are low. The electronics seem to go a bit haywire before it gets to the point where it won't recycle. But generally the performance has been excellent.
